After Cui Wensheng came to Fengyang, he also knew that Liaoyu killed people, and the people's family background was scraped to the net, and the people were worried about their livelihood and livelihood, so they would laugh, if they laughed, it was just a miserable laugh, and Xuzhou here was a happy smile that did not worry about food and clothing.

"Big thief, this is the real disaster of the country." The more the eunuch Cui Wensheng looked, the more frightened he became.

No matter how vicious the chaotic people and thieves in Xuzhou are, Cui Wensheng will not be afraid, because it is just a temporary arrogance, and there is no way to last at all, because you can't get anything except looting and intimidation, and looting and intimidation is to dry up and fish, either to cut off the vitality of the local area, or to provoke the resistance of the people.

There is no supply of food and grass, no replenishment of personnel, what can you do if you have the courage to splash the sky, you will have no strength to fight when you are hungry, and if you die, you will lose one, reduce your combat power, and there is nowhere to replenish, not to mention, if you want to vigorously conquer and plunder, you will have to conflict with the local government, and then it will be a loss, so you will continue to be weak and exhausted.

On the other hand, the official army is different, with the righteous name of the imperial court, and the support of the people's and material resources of the great world, even if they are temporarily defeated or even defeated, they can continue to be replenished, fight again and again, and invest more and more manpower and material resources.

In such a situation, no anti-thief and chaotic people can resist the crushing of the Ming official army, Eunuch Cui is also a reading seed from the inner library, and after reading a lot of historical allusions, he naturally understands these, in his opinion, Xuzhou is like this.

Recruiting Zhao'an is just a temporary measure, and when the end of the autumn grain is delayed, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to suppress it again, and the end of the chaotic people and thieves in Xuzhou is only annihilation.

But what he saw and heard in Xuzhou made the eunuch Cui Wensheng feel cold, his Fengyang Mansion is adjacent to Xuzhou, just heard that there were tyrants rampant in Xuzhou, but I never heard that someone in Xuzhou pulled the flag to rebel against the imperial court, even this time, Xiaoxian County Yamen is still operating as usual, Xuzhou Zhizhou Yamen is also peaceful in Xuzhou City, knowing this, Cui Wensheng also thought that the chaos in Xuzhou was just a rampant stick armed in the countryside, and even the city could not enter, which was even more of a disease of scabies.

Waiting for Xiao County to stay for one night, seeing the situation and public sentiment in the core area of Xuzhou, Cui Wensheng began to feel that something was wrong, the current situation seems to be more terrible than the flag rebellion, it seems that this Zhao Jin doesn't care about the flag and rebellion, he is more in-depth than the government to control the Xuzhou place, the official government yamen is just a decoration, of course it doesn't hurt to keep it.

If this can be done, it is not a disease of scabies, but a big problem for the heart, this Xuzhou place plus Suzhou and the legendary surrounding places, can continue to provide manpower and food and grass supplies for the Xuzhou chaos, then it is not a time to eliminate the other.

Why are the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong so difficult, it's not that they have a piece of Jianzhou land that can provide military supplies, if you look at it this way, won't Xuzhou become a place like Jianzhou, and in this place in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, there will be a slave chieftain-like figure and the Jurchen Tartar-like power to make trouble? That's horrible, too.

However, Eunuch Cui is not such an easy person to fool, he has been on an errand in the palace for many years, and he doesn't know how much he has seen in the ghost tricks, in his mind, he is here to appease him this time, and the two sides have to negotiate and dispute, since they want to talk, bluffing and asking for a price is always indispensable, and it is naturally much easier to talk about acting in a play in front of his own house and bluffing people.

"Playing this kind of little trick in front of our family, you are still early" The eunuch Cui Wensheng muttered to himself, turned the horse and was about to turn, ready to leave the direction of the official road, and walk inside.

He was just about to turn around, and the guards on the side hurriedly urged him to step forward to dissuade him, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, the thief's cavalry is following us, for fear of hindrance." ”

Cui Wensheng was stunned for a moment, then he consciously looked around, and sure enough, he saw several riders around, although Eunuch Cui had local experience and was brave enough to ride a horse, but that's all, he didn't pay attention to these, and when he saw this, his face suddenly turned a lot whiter.

"Since when did you keep up?"

"It's on the ground in Suzhou, but it's chasing it from afar, and it's not forward, and the little ones think it's what it should be, so they don't talk about it." The guard replied.

"Bastard, why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier" Eunuch Cui scolded sharply, he gritted his teeth on the horse, but he still turned his horse around, and said in his mouth: "Since these thieves are waiting for the court to recruit peace, then they will definitely not dare to do anything bad to us, otherwise whoever talks to them, our family will not believe it, and the thieves in Xuzhou dare to fight against the whole world."

What he said was also reasonable, the guards didn't tell me that it must be because of this, watching Cui Wensheng turn the horse, everyone hesitated and hurriedly followed

The light horses surrounding in the distance really did not hinder them, and they were still staring at them from a distance, which made everyone feel relieved.

He didn't go far along the path, the eunuch Cui Wensheng's horse slowed down, and he vaguely felt that he didn't have to go, because the road here was also very smooth, all kinds of regulations were complete, and he could also see the ditches in the fields on the side of the road, and occasionally the farmers in the fields, which were rare and full of spirits.

Xuzhou is also a flat topography, people can see far away on the horse, no matter what direction to see, what you see is not much different from what you see.

If there are superficial articles everywhere, then it is not a superficial article, Eunuch Cui's face was puzzled and frightened, and after a little hesitation, he urged the horse forward, he saw a village in front of him, and the people outside the village were busy in the drying field, just to go over and take a look.

"You wait, the ground in Xuzhou is too peaceful, and no one dares to do it casually." Cui Wensheng stopped his subordinates from following, and after saying this, Eunuch Cui spat on the ground, his face was very ugly, he had only been here for a few days, and he had unconsciously said good things for Xuzhou.

Although he rode a horse, he didn't wear any official robes and official boots, he looked like a rich and noble officer, and he would not cause others to be strange, and he looked around, and there were no riders from the Xuzhou thieves walking towards the village, and he wouldn't do anything in advance, Eunuch Cui nodded, and urged the horse to run over.

The weather in these years is cold, the harvest is late, this season is the time to sort out the harvest, Cui Wensheng knows a little about this, and when he approached, Eunuch Cui was worried about alarming the other party, so he deliberately slowed down, and he also took advantage of the situation to observe the situation here.

Cui Wensheng has heard that in Xuzhou and Fengyang, in the villages with flat terrain, they must build soil and dig trenches, otherwise they will not be able to stop the looting of the horse bandits.

Eunuch Cui also saw that there were many people looking over on the drying field, and then they were all busy with their heads bowed, the distance at this time was close enough, Cui Wensheng saw that there were men, women and children on the drying field, this is not surprising, men and women are the business of scholars and rich people, and the strong women in the village are also laborers, but unlike other places, the appearance and clothing of men, women and children in this drying field are obviously better than elsewhere.

This place is not Xuzhou, but the Shanxi, Fengyang Mansion and the countryside around Jingshi where Cui Wensheng once stayed, where the people and farmers are all vegetables, and here they are much more ruddy, and there are many fewer patches on their clothes.

Good complexion, that is, eat more, less patches on clothes, indicating that there is a little extra money in hand, at least you can spin thread to buy cloth to make new clothes or something, Cui Wensheng has been doing it for a long time, the most basic inference ability is still there, he also saw something else, the villages in the local area are very closed, very curious about outsiders, and the people here are not too strange, indicating that there are a lot of dealings with the outside.

Cui Wensheng probably calculated the time when he rode over, and ran almost a dozen miles from the official road, which is not close, and it stands to reason that it is not easy for the villagers to go out once.

Thinking about the glimpses of those villages he passed along the way, they were probably all in front of him, Cui Wensheng felt a strong disappointment in his heart, it turned out that the other party did not do anything superficial, and this was the case.

Not far ahead, there was an old man squatting on the edge of the drying field, looking like he was busy and tired and resting, Cui Wensheng hesitated, turned over and dismounted and walked over.

"Old man, what is this place?" Cui Wensheng asked kindly, although his voice was soft and sharp, but the people here in Xuzhou had seen eunuch officials.

The old man couldn't stop looking at Cui Wensheng since he leaned over, and when he heard the other party's inquiry, he hurriedly stood up and said, "This big man, this is Yanjia Village." ”

Cui Wensheng did not wear an official robe, but he was also dressed in a rich and noble outfit, and he had been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally developed a majestic and reserved bearing, no matter how amiable he was, as soon as ordinary people dealt with him, awe would arise spontaneously.

"Old man, looking at this year's harvest, is this a bumper harvest?" Cui Wensheng asked with a smile.

"In the past few years, the harvest has been better and better year by year, and the wind and rain have been smooth, and there is more harvest than last year." The old man hurriedly replied.

Cui Wensheng nodded, he took the opportunity of the conversation to scan the field, and could see that around the drying field, in addition to the dirt fence that had been stripped off, there were also deep ditches that had been filled.

"There are many harvests, life is good, and the old people are happy" Cui Wensheng has been up and down in officialdom for so many years, and he naturally has a hand in observing words and feelings, and after a few words, the old man has lost too much vigilance.

Talking to Eunuch Cui, the old man felt honored, not to mention that he was idle at this time, it was good to have someone to chat with, or such a rich and noble person, and it was good to go back and blow it to his neighbors.

Hearing the other party's words, the old man sighed and said: "The harvest is good, but the imperial grain is not ambiguous. ”

"Thirty percent? Is that all there is to it? This answer made Cui Wensheng stunned, and hurriedly asked.
